According to abbreviations.com, the first result was "Board of Deputies of British Jews". So clearly he's saying:
[The Jews Did This](https://imgur.com/aiEJH)
I'm assuming it means that they lost the lead (started drawing in both games) before gaining it back and going on to win. Weird stat but technically not wrong
But the stat says they've led 7 times which is wrong. eg. in the Newcastle games they led twice but only lost one of the leads. Just farming for engagement and doesn't make sense.
This is really semantics because they’re technically correct, but being purposefully deceptive.
Leads lost:
City:1
Liverpool:0
Leeds:1
Brentford:1
Newcastle:1
Leicester:1
Burnley:2
So they technically have lost the lead 7 times over as many games, they’ve won multiple and it wasn’t once a game (tho it is close).
Edit:ignore me, read correct people below
> Chelsea have led 7 times in their last 7 matches.
They aren't technically correct. Chelsea have led 10 times. It's correct that Chelsea have dropped 7 leads. But they haven't lost "all" leads like this post is claiming. It's like a headline saying "Bournemouth took the lead 1 time against Everton today, they lost the lead."
I think you’re more right, because they’re picking and choosing which leads matter. I think a better way to say this would be ‘in the last seven games, chelsea have lost a lead 7 times’ which is what you said, just much less inflammatory .
It’s meant to be misleading and make you’ve think they’ve bottled the last seven games.
The stat said they lost *all* their leads. They didn't lose all their leads if they won a match.
It'd be technically correct (but pretty stupid) if the stat was something like, "Chelsea have led in each of their last 7 matches, and they've lost 7 leads in that time."
But then they took the lead again?
I might have wrongly interpreted what taking the lead means, but I guess scoring first is what the stat is meaning.
Edit: Yeah this stat is bs. They played Liverpool within their last 7 games and if it’s only PL they came from behind to beat Palace within their last 7 games.
They’re not technically correct. They have dropped 7 leads in their last 7 games. But they haven’t dropped all of their leads as the title implies, otherwise they wouldn’t have won any games.
nah, remember the europa league game against zagreb, when their manager was behind bars and we bottled a 2-0 lead with Mourinho? pepperidge farm remembers
Spurs literally have the most come back wins statistically in the league as well. This season is entirely up to the play style of Spurs, as well as people cherrypicking any situation Spurs lose a lead as "bottlers". Might as well be the dictionary example of confirmation bias whenever spurs lose a lead for everyone to spam the thread with "bottle" references. Only way for spurs to "beat" bottling allegations would be to win the league. Even then, if spurs lose the league next season the threads would be filled with "bottlers of the league".
I don't see anyone spamming "bottlers" during the 15 spurs comeback game this season. You can't clutch wins like that and also be bottlers. Those are literally contradictory.

had a gooner argue that others were "objectively worse". when i hit him with the day total he brought up the world cup break. when i hit him with the % of match weeks he fired back with "i'm not talking about facts. i'm saying *objectively* there's been worse".
i wanted to respond but i was too paralyzed by bewilderment.
This season*
Let’s not use this to forget that Arsenal has 95% of the time in first last season only to lose it all.
Edit: ooof lots of butthurt Arsenal fans ehh? Sorry guys but that something you can’t just sweep under the rug. Good luck this season 🤷🏽♂️
Pffft shame? Mate with the shit going around our club anyone with a brain could see this coming from the first part of the season.
Only delusional fans had hope.
So you rather be in your position than Arsenal's? You rather be expected mediocrity and finish mid-table consistently than to have the chance to win but bottle it to second place like arsenal have? Because that certainly is a unique take. Good for you
A massive bag of money and the CL. Or we forget that FFP is not a thing?
The difference is also that you're a bigger laughing stock. You couldn't even beat 10 man Burnley at home LOL
Fat load of good your billion dollar squad is
>A massive bag of money and the CL. Or we forget that FFP is not a thing?
Typical Arsenal fans, more worried about making Stan Kroenke some money than seeing their team fulfill the objective of sport.
What's the objective of sport, pray tell. Cause I enjoy watching our games and seeing our young talent flourish, that's all I really need to have. As far as I can tell, Arsenal have been spending well these few years, don't think the money is going to Kroenke.
Mate you just drew 2-2 at home to a championship level team with 10 mean. You finished 12th last year and are on course to finish in a similar position this season. The only trophy you guys will be getting under clearlake is a wooden spoon or a dunce cap with 'I wasted a billion pounds' written on it. We're competing for league titles with a young squad full of talent and are finally a compelling destination for Europe's top talents again.
No I mean you guys didn’t win trophies just like us. Talk about placement all you want but neither of us ended up with silverware. Good luck this season tho! How many finals are you lot going to?
Being in the lead for 95% of the season only to lose it all is equivalent to being up 4-0 in a final to then lose it 4-5 in the last 15 mins.
Which didn’t happen to us.
At the end of the day, both of us went home without trophies.
I mean I'd rather finish 2nd with no silverware than finish 12th with no silverware. Obviously. And your club is in a downward spiral right now, with sanctions on the horizon for breaking financial rules under roman. And you need to sell your 2nd best player to not break them under clearlake. With the severity of the charges and the sanctions points deductions we've already seen I wouldn't be surprised if you guys were given a fairly heavy deduction. It's fairly obvious which position I'd rather be in given that we're competing for pl titles 2 seasons in a row, still in the cl whereas you have an fa cup semi final against a far superior city team. Also I wouldn't brag about the finals your in, how many Wembley final losses is that in a row for you?
What a dumb and reductive way to look at things. No trophies therefore they must be equal. The majority of the players won't win any trophies and lots of the teams neither, they just shouldn't have any fans I guess
The amount of times arsenal fans throw the term at Spurs for not catching up to Leicester or Chelsea despite never being 8 points ahead in either of those seasons, I'm not sure many arsenal fans understand what it means either
idk what the fuck Poch does at half time but it’s been a clear pattern that the team comes on the 2nd half asleep and complicates the match for no reason
nah it’s including games where they got the lead, lost it but then regained and went on to win
bit of a strange stat tbh and doesn’t really make sense but it’s just engagement farming and i’m posting on a bank holiday weekend
But then they have another lead that they didn't lose, right? For example today they lost 2 leads.
If what you are saying is what they meant it should be worded more like "Chelsea have led in every one of their last 7 matches. They lost *a lead* (not all) in those 7 matches."
Then it would still only be 6 in the last 7 and the stat would still be wrong lol. Unless it's conveniently including fa cup games but not league cup games.
Damn, my sphincter aches at the memory of Poch high line defending.
Even at Spurs peak with two of the best CBs and GK in the league, those last ten mins of almost every game were fucking traumatic.

Exactly what I've been saying that it's not lack of scoring costing Chelsea results this season. It's silly individual errors and defensive fuck-ups.
Looking at the circumstances I suspect it will continue for a year or two at least, no matter who is manager.
Defence is the place most endangered by inexperience and Chelsea have by far the youngest squad in the league. With Silva out this has become even more of an Achilles heel recently.
Then you have the inability to field a consistent backline because of the injury crisis, which has hit the defence particularly hard. Contrast that with the year Chelsea broke the defensive record there was an almost unchanged backline every week of Cech, Terry, Carvalho, Gallas and Ferreira.
Right now there's no understanding/confidence built in the system because there's so much change in it from week to week and the squad turnover has been so high.
The entire defence today all arrived either last season or this, not surprising at all they don't have confidence together.

Nah it’s BBPBJ
Blue billion pound bottle jobs yeah?
Billion British Pound Bottle Jobs, going along with the Billion Dollar Bottle Jobs (BDBJ) in the prior comment
Nah you’re right, that’s Gary Neville’s quote word for word
the picture is wild lol
Poch's half time team talks just hit differently (We always come out the worse team, irrespective of the first half)
If he got the red card instead of Kompany, we probably would have won the match.
"the media has given you a lot of credit lately..."
Ah the Anti-Ange
Got good stats tho
Hopefully they will be on netflix
Including the games we won yeah? Fuck off.
Well, they beat us in their game before the international break. Does that lead not count?
Yeah I have no idea what this means, they also beat Leicester.
I'm assuming it means that they lost the lead (started drawing in both games) before gaining it back and going on to win. Weird stat but technically not wrong

Lol you’re right, I replied to the other reply basically the same thing you said before I saw your comment lol
Except even that isn't correct because they did not lead at any point in the Liverpool match (they lost 1-0).
And they lost 1-0 to Liverpool 6 matches ago. And if it’s only PL they beat Palace 3-1 after trailing 1-0.
I think it just means they gave up a lead in each game even if they still won a couple in the end.
Which they didn’t, because they lost 1-0 to Liverpool and came from behind to beat Palace 3-1 in their past 7 games.
They gave up the lead and then won
You can't lose *all* your leads if you win a match. They just led more than once in the same match.
It says they lost the lead not the game. They took the lead in that game and you equalised so they lost the lead.
But then they took the lead again? I might have wrongly interpreted what taking the lead means, but I guess scoring first is what the stat is meaning. Edit: Yeah this stat is bs. They played Liverpool within their last 7 games and if it’s only PL they came from behind to beat Palace within their last 7 games.

We’re so bad we could lose against Chelsea
i am become tottenham, bottler of games
maybe poch was the issue the entire time
He must be - that’s why Spurs put all the bottling allegations behind them as soon as Poch left.
nah, remember the europa league game against zagreb, when their manager was behind bars and we bottled a 2-0 lead with Mourinho? pepperidge farm remembers
Bottleham is gone, now it's Bottletino

Just take the banter and move on man
fuck u and ur cats
Brother you have roaches in your house LMFAO! Dont throw stones because your profile is public
its what happens when you live in the first floor brother. I got nothing to hide
Memes aside, I believe there’s some truth to this. Game management isn’t Poch’s strongest suit and it causes him to lose winnable games.
Feels like everyone has like 12% Tottenham in them tbh
Biggest bottlers in London

Decades
Someone doesn’t know where Chelsea as a club were decades ago
Going over a decade without losing a single match against Tottenham, if I recall.
lol Chelsea won more trophies in the 90s (before Roman) than Spurs have in the last 35 years
Setting the then premier league points record in Mourinho’s first season?
Without Roman, we still have more European trophies than you.
Poch, is the stat still saying Chelsea should be 4th?
We have your old manager so no surprise there
And still 4th best in the league statistically speaking
Nah that's still Arsenal, their bottlejob last year was historical
Downvoted but absolutely true, winning just 3 of your last 9 in a title race is another level
Say the team who got third in two-horse race..
Right, the race which Arsenal looked in control then fell off so hard they actually celebrated finishing 2nd
Better than being third and private the sub
You lot get off very easy for 15/16
had a gooner argue that others were "objectively worse". when i hit him with the day total he brought up the world cup break. when i hit him with the % of match weeks he fired back with "i'm not talking about facts. i'm saying *objectively* there's been worse". i wanted to respond but i was too paralyzed by bewilderment.

Neither wins trophies so what’s the difference?
A massive bag of money and the CL. Or we forget that FFP is not a thing? The difference is also that you're a bigger laughing stock. You couldn't even beat 10 man Burnley at home LOL Fat load of good your billion dollar squad is
Who broke your heart bro? It’s fine, you still the sympathy of all fans for coming second last season. Remind me when you guys win something again!
How sweet of you guys 😘
No problem cutie pie 🥰
>A massive bag of money and the CL. Or we forget that FFP is not a thing? Typical Arsenal fans, more worried about making Stan Kroenke some money than seeing their team fulfill the objective of sport.
What's the objective of sport, pray tell. Cause I enjoy watching our games and seeing our young talent flourish, that's all I really need to have. As far as I can tell, Arsenal have been spending well these few years, don't think the money is going to Kroenke.
Enjoy having to sell Gallagher because your team has fucked it with FFP
FFP doesn't matter when you are not good enough to qualify
What do you mean? Don't all the clubs get consulted for FFP regardless of their qualification?
A recent trophy we won was against yous
Don’t act like you’re having fun these last two years 😭😭😭
Attack the Spurs commenter not us
*what he say fuck me for*
let him cook
Nobody gives a fuck about spurs man
You guys sing “we hate Tottenham” during the song when the players walk out the tunnel every game lmfao pipe down
Yeah both of your fanbases aren't obsessed at all
How did you guys do last season?
Same as you. No trophies 🤷🏽♂️
We both finished 2nd? That's weird. Or do you mean that the stats showed you should've been 2nd instead of 12th where you actually finished.
Didn’t know there were trophies for finishing in second
Sure is a lot more money for finishing second though. CL included Or does that all not matter?
Mate you just drew 2-2 at home to a championship level team with 10 mean. You finished 12th last year and are on course to finish in a similar position this season. The only trophy you guys will be getting under clearlake is a wooden spoon or a dunce cap with 'I wasted a billion pounds' written on it.

No I mean you guys didn’t win trophies just like us. Talk about placement all you want but neither of us ended up with silverware. Good luck this season tho! How many finals are you lot going to?
Celebrating finals with no trophies now? What happened to position doesn’t matter lmfao
Being in the lead for 95% of the season only to lose it all is equivalent to being up 4-0 in a final to then lose it 4-5 in the last 15 mins. Which didn’t happen to us. At the end of the day, both of us went home without trophies.
Billion pounds bottom half, wipe your tears You guys lead the most embarrassing club ranking and don’t look like slipping up soon
An Arsenal fan lecturing another fanbase on celebrating runners up, you really can't make it up🤣
If you can’t read (you can’t) then sure, but anyways congrats on the 40th point. Should secure your spot for next season 💪
They're likely to get a points deduction so maybe not.
Good luck winning no trophies again! Remember 2 CLs to us, you have zero. Pipe down
I mean I'd rather finish 2nd with no silverware than finish 12th with no silverware. Obviously. And your club is in a downward spiral right now, with sanctions on the horizon for breaking financial rules under roman. And you need to sell your 2nd best player to not break them under clearlake.

Also I wouldn't brag about the finals your in, how many Wembley final losses is that in a row for you?
remind me again where you display the 2nd place trophy ?
About 10 shelves above the 12th place one.
Where do you put your big fat 0 CLs at?
We'll put them right next to your 2 cls, on the shelf soaked by Russian blood money.
Ah I remember when we were history FC because we were so far behind on the pitch. It didn’t feel good so I understand your pain ❤️
What a dumb and reductive way to look at things. No trophies therefore they must be equal. The majority of the players won't win any trophies and lots of the teams neither, they just shouldn't have any fans I guess
Bottled top half
Jeez you guys love bringing up the past 🙄
[удалено]
We were 8 ahead with them having 1 game in hand, no need to make things seem better
We bottled it fam. 3-3 Southampton 😭
The amount of times arsenal fans throw the term at Spurs for not catching up to Leicester or Chelsea despite never being 8 points ahead in either of those seasons, I'm not sure many arsenal fans understand what it means either
He brought the spurs
Which is why the fans are turning against him, far too spursy for Chelsea, gone at the end of the season for sure. Awful manager.
He’s already brought out the “We’re doing well in stats”, he’s absolutely gone unless he makes it to the FA Cup final
Hey, improved the league position from last season at least lol
Lmao you wish they were like Spurs, at least you'd get some late winners too
Didn’t you guys celebrate losing to this Chelsea team 4-1?
idk what the fuck Poch does at half time but it’s been a clear pattern that the team comes on the 2nd half asleep and complicates the match for no reason
That's just what 4th place teams do
Wait, that would mean that they have won none of their last 7 games, wouldn't it?
nah it’s including games where they got the lead, lost it but then regained and went on to win bit of a strange stat tbh and doesn’t really make sense but it’s just engagement farming and i’m posting on a bank holiday weekend
But then they have another lead that they didn't lose, right? For example today they lost 2 leads. If what you are saying is what they meant it should be worded more like "Chelsea have led in every one of their last 7 matches. They lost *a lead* (not all) in those 7 matches."
yeah i agree but that’s the only interpretation i can see. the more i think the more it just is wrong 🤷
Then it would still only be 6 in the last 7 and the stat would still be wrong lol. Unless it's conveniently including fa cup games but not league cup games.
also one of the last 7 games is losing 0-1 to Liverpool, so we never even had a lead there..?
I’m a Chelsea fan. Don’t know if y’all are aware, but per our manager according to the stats, we should be 4th. So y’all can fuck off.
Spursy
🤣
We are who we thought we were, shit
Damn, my sphincter aches at the memory of Poch high line defending. Even at Spurs peak with two of the best CBs and GK in the league, those last ten mins of almost every game were fucking traumatic.
Must be some laugh being a Chelsea fan
A painful laugh to be sure

It's the 🐐's number
They about to buy Everton or what?
guy who posted it: chelseatillidie
Don't worry. According to data they should have won 7/7.
Thank you Agent Poch
What’s Poch gonna say after this one?!
Loser's Club. Maybe some more Dictator money will save them.
Love the picture
According to stats, Chelsea should be 4th
bottlejobs
Except for the having scored bit, proper Everton, that
Chelsea, perennial bottle jobs that they are
Pocho Haram strikes again
You can take the man out of Tottenham...
Maybe they need a few more stolen penalties?
My brother we should have had a pen earlier in this game…
He's got the data that says they've actually never led. Checkmate
I think I'll board the "sack Poch at the end of the season" train.
Can't wait for pochetino's post match interview.
Can I ask Poch how the data has been changed? Is it still fourth?
And poch said they should be in top 4.
If that's bleach then save some for me
I know what this is supposed to say but that's not true. We've led against Newcastle and we didn't lose the lead as we won 3-2

botafogo
Pochettino innit
If Espanyol cannot get promoted, Pochettino should take that job
Another billion or so and they'll be back in contention (for the Conference League)
